Third edition of vol. 11 of Salmon's extensive 'Modern History' containing information and maps on France. Salmon’s "Modern History” is an ambitious attempt to provide a comprehensive account of the world’s countries, their histories, and their contemporary states during Salmon’s time and stands as a monumental achievement in the history of 18th-century historiography. His work is a fine example of the Enlightenment's goal for cataloging and comprehending the world, offering a unique snapshot of global perspectives as understood by Europeans in the early modern period. It represents one of the earliest comprehensive attempts to document and analyze the state of nations worldwide.

Stamp to front free end-paper and titlepage, Extremities with light wear. Pp. 169-84. [Entire volume: VII, (1), 846 pp.]. First appearance of Paul Güttinger's important paper which constitute the first derivation of the Hellmann-Feynman formulas.In quantum mechanics, the Hellmann-Feynman theorem relates the derivative of the total energy with respect to a parameter, to the expectation value of the derivative of the Hamiltonian with respect to that same parameter. According to the theorem, once the spatial distribution of the electrons has been determined by solving the Schrödinger equation, all the forces in the system can be calculated using classical electrostatics.

Stamp to front free end paper, otherwise a fine and clean copy. Pp. 237-255. [Entire volume: V, (1) 426 pp.]. First appearance of Bothe's early paper on the Compton effect which, together with his later paper (in Bd 32, Zeitschrift für Physik), awarded him the Nobel Prize in Physics "for the coincidence method and his discoveries made therewith"."Among the topics that Bothe studied in 1924 was the ejection of electrons by X rays, and it was in connection with this phenomenon that he and Geiger performed an important experiment. In an effort to reconcile the particulate and wavelike properties of radiation, Bohr, Kramers, and Slater in 1924 formulated a new quantum theory of radiation. According to their hypothesis, momentum and energy-are conserved only statistically in interactions between radiation and matter. Bothe and Geiger suggested that this could be tested experimentally by examining individual Compton collisions. Bothe introduced a modification into the Geiger counter that made it appropriate for use in coincidence experiments (a very novel procedure in 1924). Using two counters, they studied the coincidences between the scattered X ray and the recoiling electron. Correlating photons with electrons, Bothe and Geiger found a coincidence rate of one in eleven; since the chance coincidence rate for the situation was 10?5, the experimental results contradicted the theoretical predictions and indicated small-scale conservation of energy and momentum."
